      I don’t know just playing the devils side. He could be a control freak , that would explain why he don’t use a tripod. Or one of the modern ones that track you as you move around. Like I said I don’t know , just saying. Great show from a smart guy though, worth watching that’s for shur. Thank you for what you do Chad, you are a light at the end of the tunnel

      Sequential LED’s should fit inside that box rather easily. There are some great control boxes on the market that allow turn signals and back up lights as well as running lights. Hopefully Mr. Chad will see this car is good enough to deserve some nice tail lights.

    @classic_cars8713 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like how you jump from one project on a car one day to something completely different the next day. it keeps it interesting to tune in everyday to see what interests you today. All these tasks need to be done before you are done with the car. It really does not matter what order many things are done, only that together they will add up to a completed car someday. Thanks for all the lessons you teach every day. Jolene does a great job with the camera .

    Watching you create is great. The gifts you get are very useful. In fact I remember you got a few 90 degree magnets that would have held the sides of your tail light box up nicely for you to weld it together. Thanks to Jolene's good camera work we can see it all go together.

    • @i8ntnuts
      @i8ntnuts 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If Chad paints the car a color that is very similar to the plastic tail light lens it would blend right into the bodywork. I hope he adds a couple of “blue dots”. They are almost required on a 50s custom 😊🤞

      Don’t forget to add a couple of drain holes if you are going to drive your car on the streets. I’m a piece of quarter inch tubing half inch long welded to the outside of the hole will keep road splash from going inside your box

    Another thing with Mig welding sheet metal is the size of wire you use. The three most common wires are 024, 030 and 035. I can go through a medium tank in less than a month so I do a bit of welding and have my favorite but what does everyone else find works best? Good to see Chad in a real good mood, doing what he loves making something out of nothing at all.
